Safety and security are a priority for childcare centers, and we know it's important for you to keep track of who is coming and going in and out of your facility. An easy-to-use Kiosk for staff and children to check in and check out of the facility offers all of these features:
- Verify staff and children's clock-in and clock-out times with the Time Entries page.
- Real-time tracking with the Who's Here Now page.
- Staff attendance reporting is located on the Team Member Attendance page.
- Children's Attendance Records are always available for reporting and billing.
In addition, teachers or other staff members assigned to classes have the ability to take class attendance and mark each child present electronically in Class Mode.
Kiosk Attendance Recording & Tracking
Staff, children, and family members should always use the Care Kiosk when they enter and leave the facility. This helps you track who's in the building at any time and when people leave.
- If someone forgets to clock out, you can adjust their times on the Time Entries page.
- If someone forgets to clock in, you can add a time entry on the Time Entries page.
| Care Kiosk | The purpose of the Kiosk is to provide an electronic record, including timestamps, of when someone enters and leaves your site. When a staff member or a new Family Account is added, they will be prompted via email to create a PIN to use for the Kiosk.
|
| Who's Here Now | The electronic information from the Kiosk identifying who is currently checked in at your facility is listed on the Who's Here Now page.
After someone checks out using the Kiosk, their card is no longer visible on the page. |
| Time Entries | A complete record of everyone using the Kiosk to clock in and out is stored and managed on the Time Entries page. If someone forgets to clock in or out, this is the place to edit the time entries or add new ones.
|
Team Member Attendance | When staff members clock in and out using the Kiosk, the electronic attendance information is recorded and is available on the Team Member Attendance page. The information in the attendance grid can be sorted, printed, and exported to Excel. In addition, the attendance information can be used for payroll and imported into a payroll management system.
|
Child Attendance Records | Each time a child is clocked in and out using the Kiosk, the electronic attendance information is captured and is available on the Attendance Record page. The information in this grid can be sorted, printed, exported to Excel, and used for official attendance documentation.

Attendance in Class Mode
Kiosk attendance, as described above, provides you with all the information you need for children and staff entering and leaving your facility. Attendance taken in Class Mode allows you to track attendance more often, in a classroom setting, or outside the center, with face-to-name recognition.
You, as an Administrator or Owner, can monitor and maintain the required teacher-to-child ratio in the classroom. Attendance can be taken in Class Mode as often as your center requires it.

Business Owner and Admin permissions are required to open the Kiosk, view the Who's Here Now page, and review/adjust/add Time Entries.
